Yeah, I'm reminded of the companies buying up the streetcars.
"Between 1938 and 1950, National City Lines and its subsidiaries, American City Lines and Pacific City Lines—with investment from GM, Firestone Tire, Standard Oil of California (through a subsidiary), Federal Engineering, Phillips Petroleum, and Mack Trucks—gained control of transit systems in about 25 cities"
Then they dismantled them.
